As long as it isn’t under Vinny’s compost pile! 🤣🤣🤣

It’s simply the white hair emoji. https://emojipedia.org/white-hair/
I put it there because I was going to change it (to something else) when I saw Pence come on the news.

Smith, I just went to your "message from Harry Browne" link. I have to say, now that YouTube always gives you an ad before the video starts, that kind of link sadly doesn't work nearly as well as it used to.

They should exempt that particular video from their ads, of course.

Have any mule stats? I’m kind of into mules and donkeys. Don’t quote me out of context. O0

Also, no. Although I read recently that people back in the day preferred mules to horses. Due to something something hybrid vigor.

Mules are more sure-footed. That’s why mules are used to pack supplies down the Grand Canyon trail to Phantom Ranch. Ditto on the Yosemite trail to the top of Nevada Falls. (Son in Law used to work in the Canyon.)

This is just so serendipitous I had to stop and share.

Just cracked open The Accidental Superpower, by Zeihan. From page 11:
Meet Farmer Smith. In the early nineteenth century, Farmer Smith had a small but productive apple orchard in upstate New York. Every fall he loaded his horse, Tobias, with 250 lbs of apples for market, which was all that Tobias could carry over the paths that snaked through upstate New York's hilly terrain. Farmer Smith's apples were very popular; he did well, saved his money, and planted more apple trees. In a few years Farmer Smith had done well enough to afford a cart to transport his harvest, and with Tobias strapped in he could now take two thousand pounds of apples to market with each cartload. Years passed, the weather held, and Farmer Smith's apples continued to sell; with his proceeds he bought more acres of land and planted more apple trees. By the fall of 1825, Farmer Smith was in luck: the long-awaited Erie Canal was finally finished and open for business. Tobias had long since been put out to pasture, so Farmer Smith roped his new horse, Jedediah, to the barge he'd rented in Albany. Jedediah was able to pull thirty tons of apples all the way across the state to Buffalo, where the canal ended and Lake Erie began. And thanks to the waterways of Lake Erie, Farmer Smith was able to sell his apples as far away as Detroit.
You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever.

Ha, I love it. You don’t mess with the Zeihan.

I hope old Tobias got a barge ride for his service. Or is this just a fictional example?

Presumably, he would think it praiseworthy if Spartan women took on masculine behavior, but only in an emergency.
